The adventures continue for Laura Ingalls and her family as they leave their little house in the Big Woods of Wisconsin and set out for Kansas. They travel for many days in their covered wagon until they find the best spot to build their little house on the prairie. Soon they are planting and plowing, hunting wild ducks and turkeys, and gathering grass for their cows. Sometimes pioneer life is hard, but Laura and her folks are always busy and happy in their new little house.

The little settlement that weathered the long, hard winter of 1880-81 is now a growing town. Laura is growing up, and she goes to her first evening social. Mary is at last able to go to a college for the blind. Best of all, Almanzo Wilder asks permission to walk home from church with Laura. And Laura, now 15 years old, receives her certificate to teach school.

UN GRAND ROMAN SUR LA LIBERTÉ ET LE POUVOIR DE L'IMAGINATION. La petite orpheline solitaire, débarquée sans ménagement sur un quai de gare, a bien grandi. Le roux de ses cheveux est un peu moins vif ; ses taches de rousseur se sont estompées ; mais elle est restée toute aussi intelligente, exubérante et fantasque que dans ses jeunes années. Elle fait ses débuts comme institutrice et nous fait partager ses joies, ses déceptions et ses mésaventures, souvent cocasses, de jeune enseignante.
